On today’s Personal Safety, Bob Boilard of Defensive Strategies, joined Lori to discuss mistakes new gun owners make. They started off talking about the new class next to the In It Together Studio. Then they mentioned the false sense of security people have when buying a gun, and the importance of training. “Go to an expert”, said Lori, if you want to know the truth about guns. Then Bob told us about his experience with long-time shooters who still learn from his basic classes. Their main point was to encourage gun owners to train regularly to build skills and be safe.
Next, they highlighted 10 mistakes new gun owners make. 1. Using a cheap holster. 2. Getting a lighter trigger. 3. Replacing skills with accessories. 4. Not learning the fundamentals of shooting. 5. Not securing their firearm. 6. Not understanding differences with ammunition. 7. Buying the wrong firearm for you. 8. Using a safety or not. 9. Forgetting to clean the gun. 10. Not memorizing basic gun safety rules. Finally, they told us about the free 2 hour gun safety class Defensive Strategies offers. Listen in and hear more about it.
